Round 2: What Columbia Is Actually Looking For

Columbia draws more applications than almost any school on your list, and most of them make the same mistake when they write about the school and why they want to be in New York. In this session we will walk through what that means for your application, drawing from real applicants I have coached, what Columbia's essays are testing for and where strong candidates tend to lose the case about their candidacy. Three things you'll walk away with: 1. What "why Columbia" has to prove that "why an M7" doesn't 2. How CBS evaluates your profile, what matters, what doesn't 3. Where strong applications stall, and how to keep yours moving
